18. Cruise The Seward Highway

Alaska has 31,000 miles of road, but arguably the best and most stunning stretch of blacktop in the state is the Seward Highway between Girdwood and Anchorage. To one side, is a rugged, sheer rock wall, favored by both adventurous climbers and gravity-defying, surefooted Dall sheep. On the other side is a waterway named the Turnagain Arm. Here you might spot both beluga whales and surfers trying to catch the massive wave known as the bore tide. There are convenient pull-outs every few miles to take pictures too.

There is so much to see in the state of Alaska. There’s North America’s tallest peak, the most rugged coastline, the largest mammals, and more.  

Some say the best way to truly appreciate just how vast this place is is by taking a flightseeing tour. Hop on a bush plane, a seaplane, or even a helicopter and take a tour that will not only allow you to see for miles and miles but will be able to access places you would not otherwise be able to reach.
